Women's Work: How Culinary Cultures Shaped Modern Spain by Rebecca Ingram (Engli

Description: Women's Work by Rebecca Ingram Even with global attention, we know little about how Spanish cooking became a litmus test for demonstrating Spains modernity and, in relation, the roles ascribed to the modern Spanish women responsible for daily cooking. This book places these efforts in their historical context. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description We are living a moment in which famous chefs, Michelin stars, culinary techniques, and gastronomical accolades attract moneyed tourists to Spain from all over the world. This has prompted the Spanish government to declare its cuisine as part of Spanish patrimony.Yet even with this widespread global attention, we know little about how Spanish cooking became a litmus test for demonstrating Spains modernity and, in relation, the roles ascribed to the modern Spanish women responsible for daily cooking. Efforts to articulate a new, modern Spain infiltrated writing in multiple genres and media. Womens Work places these efforts in their historical context to yield a better understanding of the roles of food within an inherently uneven modernization process. Further, the book reveals the paradoxical messages women have navigated, even in texts about a daily practice that shaped their domestic and work lives. This argument is significant because of the degree to which domestic activities, including cooking, occupied womens daily lives, even while issues like their fitness as citizens and participation in the public sphere were hotly debated. At the same time, progressive intellectuals from diverse backgrounds began to invoke Spanish cooking and eating as one measure of Spanish modernity.Womens Work shows how culinary writing engaged these debates and reached women at the site of much of their daily labor—the kitchen—and, in this way, shaped their thinking about their roles in modernizing Spain.

Rosi Song, coauthor of A Taste of Barcelona: The History of Catalan Cooking and Eating"Clean and concise; its a tight book without any filler that does what it sets out to do. This is great cultural studies work and rich scholarship. Ingram is to be congratulated for expanding our understanding of gendered (food)work in Spain during the early twentieth century."—Robert A.
